No cook can do without onions: we need this vegetable when preparing almost every dish.
However, everyone knows the peculiarity of this vegetable: it can make anyone cry.
But it is worth knowing about the tricks that will allow you to peel and cut onions without tears, reveals the secrets of chef Yulia Arkhipova, an expert on culinary issues for the online publication BelNovosti.
What will help in this matter?
Cook by candlelight
This trick may seem strange, but it is very effective. However, you will need to prepare candles made of natural wax: only they will help in this matter.
Besides, cooking in such a romantic atmosphere will be more enjoyable.
Container with ice water
If you want to avoid tears while working with onions, place a container next to you. Pour cold water into it. While cleaning and cutting onions, periodically pour cold liquid over the knife.
Glasses
Sure, it may look weird, but the method is pretty good. You just need to use glasses that fit tightly. That way, the chemicals that cause tears won't reach your eyes.
